The main realization principle of the solution of the present invention, its specific implementation manners, and corresponding beneficial effects will be described in detail below with reference to each accompanying drawing.

As shown in Figure 3, it is a flow chart of the main realization principle of the terminal equipment management method proposed by the present invention, and its main realization process is as follows:

Step S10, preset at least one device management subtree (DM subtree) in the terminal device, wherein each preset DM subtree is used to store information about an additional function of the terminal device, each preset The storage structure between the DM subtrees is exactly the same, and the information types that can be stored in the corresponding position nodes in each DM subtree are defined in advance;

Assume that each DM subtree here is defined to store additional function identification (ID), additional function static description information (Description), additional function operation (Operation), additional function current state information (Status) and additional function parameter configuration ( 5 nodes of Configure); and under the additional function operation (Operation) node, define the next-level nodes for storing the various operation types supported by the additional function and define respectively under the additional function parameter configuration (Configure) node The next-level node used to store the configuration information of each additional function parameter. That is, in order to store information related to additional functions of the terminal device, it is first necessary to determine the storage structure of the DM subtree, and the design of the storage structure is related to the information of the additional functions that need to be obtained and can be obtained. It is assumed that in the method of the present invention, the information about the additional functions of the terminal device that needs to be obtained mainly includes the identification of the additional functions, static information describing the additional functions, status information of the additional functions, and operation information that can operate on the additional functions wait.

As shown in Figure 4, it is a schematic diagram of the storage structure after normalizing each DM subtree set in the terminal device in the method of the present invention, and the specific meanings of each root node and leaf node in the normalized DM subtree are as follows:

<x> tree node Format minimum access rights value One node Get N/A

The leaf node represents the parameter configuration information node of the additional function;

The root node represents a standby extension node for additional function-related information.

In step S20, the relevant information of each additional function possessed by the terminal device is respectively acquired; wherein, the relevant information of each additional function possessed by the terminal device may be obtained, but not limited to, by the terminal device itself. Among them, the terminal device can, but not limited to, obtain the relevant information of each additional function it has through the following four ways:

(1) The terminal device obtains information about each additional function it has by scanning the system interface provided externally by its own operating system, the registry of the operating system, and the log information of the operating system; Some supporting mechanisms are provided to obtain the list of additional functions of the terminal device and related information of the additional functions. These support mechanisms include: the programming interface provided by the operating system, the registry of the operating system and the log information of the operating system, etc. For example, the WindowsMobile operating system provides the DirectShow API interface, which provides management and access The capabilities of the camera hardware.

(2) The terminal device obtains information about each additional function it has by analyzing the user interaction interface provided by its own operating system to the user; that is, the terminal device analyzes the user interaction interface (such as: menu, The relevant information that can be displayed on the control panel, etc.) is used to obtain the relevant information of some user-visible additional functions of the terminal device, and at the same time, the control interface and description information of the menu can also be obtained.

(3) The terminal device sends a request message to the DM server to request information about the additional functions it has; the DM server responds to the request message sent by the terminal device, and sends the information about the additional functions of the terminal device maintained by itself or The relevant information of the additional functions possessed by the terminal device is obtained from a third-party enabling component (such as a WAP gateway, etc.), and then the relevant information of the additional functions possessed by the terminal device is delivered to the terminal device.

That is, the terminal device sends a request to the DM server to obtain information about the additional functions of the terminal device. If the DM server maintains the additional function information database of the terminal device, it will query the additional functions of the terminal device from the additional function information database maintained by itself. If the DM server itself does not maintain the additional function information database of the terminal device, the DM server obtains the information of the terminal device from other enabling components (such as WAP gateway, etc.) through the WSI interface or other interfaces according to the terminal model reported by the terminal device. Relevant information with additional features. If the format of the additional function-related information obtained by the DM server from the external device is standardized, such as UAProfile, the DM server will directly send the obtained additional function-related information to the terminal device; if it is non-standardized, the DM server will After format conversion is performed on the relevant information of the additional function, the converted standardized information related to the additional function is sent to the terminal device.

(4) Before the terminal equipment leaves the factory, according to the additional functions of the terminal equipment itself, the manufacturer of the terminal equipment writes the relevant information of each additional function into the corresponding standardized DM subtree in advance.

The terminal device can correspond to the standardized DM subtree storage structure stored in itself, and only obtain the information types that can be stored on each node in the standardized DM subtree, so that the terminal device obtains the information of each additional function it has. The relevant information correspondingly includes identification information of the additional function, static description information of the additional function, information of various types of operations supported by the additional function, current state information of the additional function and parameter configuration information of the additional function, and the like.

In step S30, the terminal device maps and stores the acquired information about each additional function to each node in a corresponding DM subtree according to the types of information that each node in the defined subtree can respectively store.

It can be seen from the above narration that in the DM subtree storage structure standardized here in the present invention, at least include the identification node (ID) of the additional function, the current state node (Status) of the additional function and the operation node (Operation) supported by the additional function, of course the DM The specific storage structure of the subtree can also be adjusted differently according to the requirements.

After the terminal device obtains the relevant information of each additional function it has, it analyzes and processes the obtained information, and analyzes whether the relevant information of the corresponding additional function needs to be mapped and stored in the corresponding DM subtree, and whether it is standardized Additional functions (that is, whether there is a unified ID identification). If it is a standardized additional function, then complete the mapping storage of the obtained information to the DM subtree according to the normalized DM subtree storage structure; if it is a non-standardized additional function, the terminal device performs some processing on it (such as generating a ID of the additional function, etc.), and then map and store the obtained information into the corresponding DM subtree according to the normalized DM subtree storage structure.

In addition, for the above method (3) for the terminal device to obtain information about its own additional functions, the DM server can directly send the corresponding information to the corresponding DM in the terminal device according to the obtained information about the additional functions of the terminal device. stored in the corresponding node in the subtree.

When the terminal device maps the obtained information about the additional function to the corresponding DM subtree, for the Status node in the normalized DM subtree, the terminal device needs to know the current status of the additional function, so as to map the information of the additional function The current status information is mapped and stored in the Status node to complete the purpose of initializing the Status node. For the Operation node in the normalized DM subtree, the terminal device needs to know the type of operation that the additional function can support, and will know each The operation type situation mapping is stored in the corresponding leaf node under the Operation node.

As shown in FIG. 5 , it is a flow chart of a processing procedure in which the terminal device maps and stores the acquired related information of additional functions into the corresponding DM subtree in the method of the present invention.

In step S40, the subsequent corresponding management entities can respectively control the additional function-related information stored in each DM subtree in the terminal device, so as to realize the purpose of managing the corresponding additional functions of the terminal device. The management entity mentioned here may be a DM server, and may also manage enabling components for some other devices, such as a Scheduling enabling component.

In addition, if the additional functions of the terminal device itself or the state of the additional functions have changed, but the relevant information mapped and stored on the corresponding DM subtree has not been updated in time, it may lead to management The operation command issued by the party cannot be executed or executed incorrectly, etc., so the terminal equipment is required to be responsible for monitoring the changes of its own additional functional components or their status and parameters in a timely manner. If any changes are detected, the corresponding DM sub- The information stored in the tree is updated, so as to maintain the accuracy of the DM subtree mapping and storing the relevant information of the additional functions of the terminal device. The main process for the terminal device to update the relevant information in the DM subtree stored by itself is as follows:

Trigger the terminal device to reacquire the relevant information of each additional function it has, and compare the reacquired relevant information of each additional function with the information stored on the root node and leaf node in the corresponding DM subtree, and then according to The comparison result updates the relevant information already stored in the corresponding DM subtree.

It is possible, but not limited to, to pre-set the trigger cycle in the terminal device, so that the terminal device automatically reacquires information about additional functions of the terminal device at each cycle trigger point during the process of updating the DM subtree, and also By setting the relevant interface, the terminal device can reacquire the relevant information of its own additional functions under certain conditions; the terminal device extracts the information that needs to be mapped and stored in the corresponding DM subtree from the obtained relevant information; and By comparing the extracted information with the information that has been mapped and stored on the corresponding DM subtree, if it is found that an additional function identifier is not found on the DM subtree, then increase the DM subtree used to store the information related to this additional function; If it is found that a certain additional function is on the DM subtree but not in the currently acquired additional function list, then delete the DM subtree that stores the relevant information of the additional function; if it is found that both the obtained additional function list and the corresponding DM subtree Yes, but the status and other information are different, then update the information stored in the relevant nodes in the DM subtree.

As shown in FIG. 6 , it is a flow chart of updating the additional function-related information stored in the DM subtree in the method of the present invention.

The additional functions mentioned in the above method of the present invention include but are not limited to hardware-related or irrelevant camera functions, MP3 music playback functions, Bluetooth transmission functions, and infrared transmission functions carried by the terminal device itself or subsequently installed in a non-DM manner. functions and more.

Next, take the predetermined task Scheduling enabling component to manage the camera function of the terminal device as an example to further elaborate the principle of the method proposed above in the present invention:

As shown in Figure 7, it is a DM sub-tree storage structure preset in the terminal device for storing relevant information of the camera function of the terminal device. Each root node and leaf node in the DM sub-tree store the ID information (OMA_DC_DEF), static description information (Camera Function), supportable operation type information (Operation: EnableDisable) and parameter configuration information (Configure) of the camera function of the terminal device;

Secondly, several sets of relevant control management subtrees are installed on the terminal equipment, each control management subtree includes at least Condition and action group (Actions), these control management subtrees can be identified and operated by the Scheduling enabling component, and also It can exist as an item of the Scheduling management object. These control management subtrees can be issued by the DM server or installed in the terminal device through other means (such as smart cards, etc.), as shown in Figure 8, which is a schematic structural diagram of the control management subtree delivered or installed in the terminal device, The Scheduling enabling component checks whether the condition (Trigger Condition) is satisfied, and if the condition satisfies the execution condition of a certain (group) control management subtree, the Scheduling enabling component executes the relevant operation.

For example, if the Scheduling enabling component checks that the condition meets 1 task group, then the Scheduling enabling component executes 1 management subtree; if it checks that the condition satisfies 2 task groups, then the Scheduling enabling component executes 2 management subtree, wherein the Scheduling enables Please refer to the relevant specifications of OMADM for the specific implementation process of the component performing related operations.

In summary, based on the terminal device management method proposed by the present invention, the relevant information of the additional functions of the terminal device can be mapped and stored in the DM subtree, so that the DM server or the device management enabling component can manage the DM subtree through the DM subtree. Control to achieve the purpose of managing the additional functions of the terminal equipment.
